Johanna is a DPhil student in Information, Communication and the Social Sciences focusing on the political economy of AI. She investigates how we can make AI more worker-friendly by changing the systems of its development and deployment. Her research explores the effect of worker representation on firms’ AI use, and the role of research narratives on AI development. She combines machine learning approaches with more traditional econometric methods to do causal inference on observational data.
Johanna holds an MPhil in Economics from the University of Oxford and a BA in Philosophy and Economics from the University of Bayreuth, Germany. Her DPhil is funded by the OII’s Shirley Scholarship.
Outside academia, Johanna enjoys rowing and sewing.
